Oh, it's over? Perhaps now is the time to finally read them all. After I stop time and read everything else I want to read.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I've only ever read the first book. You all are making me dread the rest of it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm trying to think if any character's death could gut me the way Ghastly's did, and I don't think so. Not even Skulduggery or Valkyrie (yeah, it would be sad and shitty, but I sort of expect it).
And, for the record, I'm STILL not over Tanith getting a Remnant.

No, they're pretty fantastic. Shit doesn't start to get really real until maybe book 5? Or 6? I mean, major stuff happens, but the impact doesn't really kick in until book 5 or 6. And it's still good, and funny as hell in places.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's just that when bad stuff happens to characters you like, it packs a serious punch. And that happens. Not constantly, or even frequently, but the emotional wallop leaves a mark, as it were.
Highly recommended!

Hey. New board.
The not-published-here thing has kept me from getting past number 3. I just don't like reading real books these days and getting UK ebooks seems like much trouble.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am P-C in this. Currently reading Bring Up The Bodies.

I just got the first Harry Dresden book from the library, so I imagine I'll be down that particular rabbit hole for a while.

Remember your Skullduggery lessons as you read Harry.

Try Amazon Canada for no hassle UK books. Though of course when dealing with Amazon you are dealing with evil. Not sure that all UK books can be gotten there, but many not-published in the US are.
